Celebrities (at least the normal, stable ones) are pretty predictable: they do movies, they go on Letterman and they sometimes appear in magazines or on TV. But what happens when they're offered large sums of money to do weird foreign commercials? Everything we know about them is turned upside down. Let's take a look at some great foreign commercials with American celebrities we know and love.

A tasteful blend of bubbles, blond girls and black guys was clearly the next step in the progression of Snoop Dogg's career.

This commercial would have been a piece of perfectly effective marketing without Mr. Schwarzenegger, but it is because of the fact that he's in it that makes a piece of respected art.

This is great because it looks like it was filmed in Kansas and then sent over to Japan for crazy editing, overdubs and commercial-grade special effects.
